Red Velvet Iced Cookies

Red Velvet! Do you enjoy colorful food? For some reason it makes me smile. To me, it signifies healthy and good tasting, fresh and well made. I know I find it makes me want to eat more and take a bigger helping. Red reminds me of fresh fruit, juicy, sweet and satisfying. The deep green colors of steamed vegetables make me feel the same. But Red Velvet puts the holiday spirit in me and I just want to start cooking and baking and sharing. I hope these gorgeous cookies do the same for you!
